Sending file updates to all clocks

You can configure the mass update to send files to every clock that is connected to the server.

To send file updates to all clocks:

  1. Determine the file update repository directory. The directory is set by the value of this registry parameter: 
    /system/clocks/DOWNLOAD_DIR
  2. Under the file update repository directory, create a subdirectory following these conventions:
    • If you are creating your own custom update, create a subdirectory with the format update.<a-b-c-d>.dir, where <a-b-c-d> is the update number, ensuring this version number is greater than the last update. Version comparison is done first with the a value, followed by b, c, and d, so that a version of 5.0.0.3 is higher than 4.9.9.9 and 5.0.0.0. You must follow this convention for your custom update to work.
    • If the update has been provided by the system, the update should already be in this format. Copy the folder provided to you into the file update repository, again ensuring the version number is highest.
All clocks that are connected to the file update service will download these file changes unless more specific updates have been defined.
